Thanx for the link. After many speeches, willings, promises, disputes, this image is the best tool to realize the "erosion" and it's useful for opening-eye for who can't see the overall long-term israeli politic.
such a depressing and awakening truth,
It's obvious what the days will bring more if nothing is done to prevent the continuity of this scenario.
On a humorous note:
As the great Kermit the Frog sang, "It's not easy being green."
A picture says it louder than a thousand words. I find myself speechless. It is depressing.
wow. really puts things into perspective.
How is it that some terrible crimes against humanity not only go unpunished but seem to be sanctioned when committed by US supported allies. How long will the world tolerate the cancer like growing domination of the US and its allies in the Middle East
In the western news we see suffering caused by suicide bombings throughout the Middle East. When I look at the reality shown by these maps I can only guess at the despair this has caused the true people of Palestine. How much despair does it take to cause someone to strap on a bomb and give some sort of meaning to their lives by ending it in a violent manner. Its sad that the West does not realize or care about the suffering that western policies, money and interference has caused in this regoin. I think that things would change fast if some of the suffering was felt in the west.
We in the US always give lipservice to "never letting the Holocaust happen again," though it happens all over the world every day. Really, the slogan has come to be a carte blance for Israel to commit its own human rights abuses every day.
God Bless.
Just have a close look at Qalqilya… it's a prison for God's sake!!!
The following article by Rima Merriman gives such a deep analysis of what's going on there:

The picture speaks for itself…Even the deff can understand it!
The maps remind of an anti smoking advertisement I saw once. It showed how fast a malignant tumour could move through a smoker's lung.

Latest:
Israel has cut gas and petrol supplies to the Palestinians.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4758471.stm
Israel controls all aspect of the Palestinian economy. Now their foreign aid, too.

I am not surprised, the design has already been sketched to change the middle east and other maps. Only thing is they will launch a pandemic like Bird flu and then invade countries, thus weakening the country and retaining the resources. The book on Territory and claiming spaces already details hints on invading middle eastern countries. They have also sketched to invade INDIAN sub-continent. We are an extinct species. If we dont wake up and stop fighting with each other, we will surely have a museum with our skulls for display and the canibal germans and europeans to eat our flesh.

after ive seen this scenario i bcame totally speechless because it really shows the changes and the huge increase of the israelis in palastine…its horrible that most of us get influenced by graphs like this but not when we just look around..i mean noone is tryin to do anythin though we know what exactly is happenin here…its sad that a wholy country like palastine is being reigned by the jews when the moslems should b reigning it… and this is for asadel..well i think u shouldnt only blame the germans (as am half german i know their mentality very well though not always amused by their thinkin) also not the europeans..id rather blame the "western world" and not specifiying a certain country…this is my opinion..i just hope that more and more people realize what is happenin and doin smth against this cancer (the jews)…if not…then we have 2 w8 till palastine and all the jews will suddenly drown in misery…god bless
Every thing is designed by the western nations, and Swiss in particular. They tend to act as mediators and try to learn all aspects and pass on to the western nations or their allies or masters.
You should see the increase of interest of Swiss professors in that region, they sing the tunes of their masters, earlier hitler, now americans or jews. I wouldn't trust any western and his intentions. I think for protecting our interests we should adopt the same strategy as america does. I happen to read somebody saying or floating ideas that we should have our own guantanamo and insist on flourshing our national interests and benefit our people. We should nationalise all western business and drive them out as how america has done.
Let me borrow some words "It is better to let their mother cry for the suffering rather than your own mother or your generations". What we have seen is the notion" if you dont do it somebody else will do it on you". and act as victims that what west has been doing. Africans shouldnt allow any white man in their nations for they are plague to the society and they will only bring to the destruction of that society they live in.
Bottom line is to identify the wrong things "just put the white man under surveillance" you will see all the disgusting things and disgraceful things that have been brought to humanity
Asadel,
Your comments merely prove that racism, wilful misinformation and evil intention are NOT merely restricted to the caucasian and semitic worlds. Sadly, alas, they are spread throughout the whole of humanity, and you are a fine example!

Ooops! apologies for the double posting!
Still too much blaming everyone else but yourself here.
Israel is wrong. Palestinian extreemists are wrong.
Palestinians are right. Because they are occupied and subjucated to Israeli control.
It is a free country. You are free to do as you are told.
When can Palestinians live their lives freely and without Israeli control?
Their homeland is split and they can't freely visit any part of their homeland. (Let alone any part that was taken.)
Who was it that said, "let my people free"?
Christians? Jews?
Not Muslims.
Funnily although you know all of this. but seeing it all displayed so clearly on a map is…hurtfull.
He who wins the war writes the history.
There is no winners in WAR, only losers; there is no victory but 'loss'.
Look at Qalqilya on the bigger map. A prison with well armed guards. Also notice how everything is divided into cantons by settlements and their access highways, with an end to contiguous Palestinian lands. And the fertile Jordan valley gobbled up by Israeli settlements. One big concrete prison. Just put a big concrete lid over it, and you have a mausoleum.
only…DOWN WITH ISRAEL…DOWN WITH AMERICA
DOWN WITH ISRAEL! DOWN WITH ISRAEL! DOWN WITH ISRAEL! DOWN WITH ISRAEL!
Where is the UN to see this map? Where is the Bush and US politician to support the Israel?
Everybody in the world is responsible. It is terrible.
pay someone a compliment …
With staring at this map, it is not that difficult to understand why Palestinians become suicide bombers.
dead with amrika
DOWN WITH ISRAEL! DOWN WITH ISRAEL! DOWN WITH ISRAEL
Israel died… you didnt know that yet ? Ge 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. At Jacob's time, he didn't name it other than Palestine, I dont know from where they got that name? Its Palestine all in whole. READ MY LIPS… IT WILL ALL BE BACK IN WHOLE TO THE PALESTINIANS
I have much to say about this subject. But a lot to say indeed, and most important a lot to do about it.
I will try to express my opinion and point of view using my creativity, my powerful speech and my social voice. But the day for me to do this pubicly hasn't come yet. We will have to wait a little longer.
I'm a European citizen from Portugal and I support Palestine 100%. It is absolutely shameful what we in Europe and them in the USA have been doing to the Palestinian people. I don't believe in Islam but I believe in Palestine.
We'll be looking forward to hear your point of view…
Go back and look at that 1947 plan. I guess the Arabs shouldn't have rejected that one huh? Almost half the land and most of the good parts. Been downhill ever since.
Kevin,
So they did, and I'm in support that they should still do. Israel and the world has no right to give what they like and keep the rest (in fact there is no 'rest' to give).
Someone will ask: "so you don't believe in peace?" I will say: "I believe that the only solution is 'One State' solution. Dividing the land will never solve the problem. I'm with that peace process, nothing less, nothing more."
OH!What a map! Just compare the map and the gospel being preached everywhere by HUNGRY COWARD LIONS. Who of us can surcrifice out life to suicide bombings? People,this is ANGER. The anger that has engulfed you when you watched what is happening on the map.Bush,will you ever live a confortable life after leaving office? You had to use Condolezza Rice. Rice,you are the job to be paid,but have you ever visited your senses when you see tears of the people of Palastine having meetings with you?
Im sure presidents are leaving offices others are coming,Truelly,one day these jews will get a PROPER ANSWER. It might take long long long but surely the truth will show itself.You can imagine now Palastines have to beg the Jews to get out from their own land to other countries. All the boarders are closed. What is happening. If the WORLD TRADE CENTRE collapses,people ak why. The answer is on the map people. I really wonder how people can keepon united nomatter how dispersed they are but still they are giving headache to the well organised force that is the ground. We call this ANGER.The anger that you felt when you saw all the map details.
the guy talked about Africa.Africa has NO NONSENSE in accepting such people who come smiling when they have hidden agendas.To hell with them. WORRY NOT,ONE DAY PALASTINE WILL GET THE ANSWER. Beautiful as they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is an interesting map… but…
I do have reservations regarding the 1917 and 1947 maps (first two ones) which include the city of "Tel Aviv" as a main city. In 1917 and 1947, there was no Israel and Jews were a small minority of the population living in Palestine. If a dominant city were to be placed on this map and in this area, it should be Yafa (Jaffa in Hebrew) which was thousands of years old and a much bigger city/port than Tel Aviv was. Tel Aviv basically was one of the first Zionist settlements in the area established in 1909 around the outskirts of Yafa to later become an important city when the state of Israel itself was established through theft and occupation of Arab territory. In 1917 and in 1947, Yafa was by far much more important than Tel Aviv and including “Tel Aviv” in those first two maps, somehow legitimizes foreign Zionist claims to Arab land and discredits the Arab identity of the region. Why ever would the author of this map include tiny Tel Aviv at the time and exclude huge Yafa??
This map appeared in the London Times on May 5th 2006. I shouldn’t be astonished. After all, the British empire did give away a whole chuck of Arab Land away for the establishment of the Jewish state.
well. i rmember palestine .through my geography class at school.just come on to have a look at this map. and i am amazed, just about sums up the map of america, and what happened to their natives. we dont get asked on our forms if we are english. they only accept british. but that can mean anyone is british if they come here. look at the map of england in the future. will it be muslim controled. its going to be easier than getting palestine back. unless of course they find a dam great oil field in the middle. then our american friends will be even more helpful. who's idea was it to give a part of serbia to the muslims. some people are vary good at giving someone els'es property away art they
Inshallah Every Israeli & every Amrican will pay for what they did at baith-al-muqadas.I again repeat that they will pay for what they did.
You know the sad thing about the whole Israel & Palestine conflict??
Many Muslims open their fasts in ramazan with dates that the Zionists stole from the Palestinians without even realising we are strengthening our enemy. This has to stop otherwise the oppresion in Palestine will never end. Our fellow muslim brothers & sisters need us now more than ever. There are millions of products out there that we use that support the Zionists. Can we not give up our luxuries for the sake of our brothers & sisters?? To over come the problem we must unite. Luv n duaz Shabeeh x
@Mohammad -
Israel is making cage for itself. Muslims blood is flowing there terribly that will take time that TREES there will point each and every person for the muslims.
The best and most daring robbery done in broad day light. Keep it up Israel and wait for the day when you will pay for everything.
